Hey,
I was wondering if anyone has tried naturally carbonating in growlers or bottling off the keg for long term storage?
I know in general the life of growlers are short, but this is often due to oxidation after first opening and poor sanitation if the growler has only been rinsed. I was thinking near the end of a keg or with small batches it might be nice to pull a few growlers full for storage. Serving off the keg is great for getting just a pint, but having some growlers stored would help save an old batch instead of having to tie up a keg. It would also keep a good stock to be able to have a few growlers on hand to bring when heading to a friends place for a few beers vs bottling a 6 pack.
Just looking to pull from the BN knowledge bank for some input.
Cheers!
